These lugs prevent lateralmovement of the board upon the standards and cross battens 9 carried bythe board engage the heads and prevent longitudinal move ment of theboard on the standards. The board is connected to the heads and held inoperative position thereon by hooks and eyes 11 carried by the battensand heads, as shown.
